Mysterious Earthen Mounds Found At Angkor Wat: Vast Ancient City Networks Revealed By Lasers
In the jungles of Cambodia surrounding the intricately beautiful Angkor Wat, scientists have discovered an extensive network of huge medieval cities stretching out and away from the ancient temple. These networks have remained hidden for hundreds of years, forgotten by the world. But archaeologists using special laser equipment have uncovered evidence of cities around the Angkor Wat area that are far larger than had been previously thought, and within the cities lies a mysterious gridwork patte..>> view originalWe're Likely To Make Contact With Aliens in 1500 Years
Jun 17, 2016 11:21 PM EDT It could take 1,500 years before humans could make contact with alien species, scientists said. "We haven't heard from aliens yet, as space is a big place. But that doesn't mean no one is out there," Evan Solomonides, a student from Cornell University who will be presenting the research paper, said in a news release. "It's possible to hear any time at all, but it becomes likely we will have heard around 1,500 years from now," Solomonides said. "Until then, it is p..>> view originalAncient West African soil technique could mitigate climate change
SUSSEX, England, June 16 (UPI) -- An ancient soil-enrichment strategy practiced by West African farmers could boost agricultural yields across the continent and help farmers mitigate the negative effects of global warming. For at least 700 years, villagers in West Africa have replenished nutrient-poor rain forest soils with charcoal and kitchen waste, transforming the lifeless dirt into rich, fertile compost. A team of researchers from Europe, the United States and West Africa tested soil from ..>> view originalAstronomers Detected Clear Sign of Oxygen In Galaxy 13.1 Billion Light Years Away from Earth
Jun 18, 2016 12:55 AM EDT A team of international researchers have detected gas containing clear signs of oxygen in one of the most distant galaxies 13.1 billion light years away from Earth. The discovery, published in the journal Science, could help the researchers understand how young stars ionized oxygen and other heavier elements during the cosmic reionisation period 150 million years after the big bang. "Seeking heavy elements in the early Universe is an essential approach to explore th..>> view originalClimate drove demise of South America's giant beasts
